Hurricane Harvey came and went, leaving nothing but destruction and loss
in its path. As a result, millions of people suffered the emotional and
physical ramification of one of the worst natural disasters of all time.
As people slowly return to their lives and measure the damage that has
been done, you may be wondering how on earth you will survive this devastation--luckily,
with the help of our legal team, as well as your insurance company, you
can start to rebuild as soon as possible.

If you are a Texan who was affected by Hurricane Harvey, the following
are vital steps to take in determine whether or not you are covered by
insurance:

No matter what, first notify your home insurer immediately of your damage
to the home; and get a claim number. Figuring out whether your insurance
covers losses comes next.

If your damage was caused by flood, losses will be covered only if you
pay for flood insurance. Regular homeowners’ policies do not cover
damages caused by “rising water”.

If you do not have flood insurance, still notify FEMA immediately online
at www.disasterassistance.gov, by calling 1-800-621-FEMA, or going to
a FEMA Disaster Recovery Center (DRC). You may be entitled to some government
benefits/emergency relief.

Again, if you do not think you pay for windstorm coverage, still notify
your insurance company and get a claim number. You may still have some
insurance for a portion of your losses.
